Despite successful mandibularfracture fixation, he subsequently developed progressive breathing difficulty with stridor.
2
The mandibularfracture is one of the most commonly fractures of the facial bones.
3
Method: Three hundred and forty three consecutive patients who underwent mandibularfracture fixation were selected for the study.
4
Anglefractures form around 30-40% of the mandibularfracture.
5
Surgical removal of third molars is associated with complications that can be as common as pain and trismus and as rare as mandibularfracture.
6
Aim: To examine the relationship between social and material deprivation and mandibularfractures.
7
Treatment of mandibularfractures should aim to reestablish functional occlusion and mandibular continuity with the least possible risk of adverse sequelae.
8
Conclusion: This study has demonstrated that a strong relationship exists between deprivation and the incidence of mandibularfractures in our catchment area.
